LANDSKRONA, (July 29, 2024) — A teenage girl has been kidnapped, tied up and killed while she was on her way to a pyjama party in Sweden.
Sweden.
Emilia Sjoberg, 14, was found dead in the town of Landskrona, in southern Sweden, last week. She was tied up with silver tape and had several cuts and bruises on her body, local media reports.
Two girls, both aged 15, have reportedly been arrested in connection to Emilia's kidnapping and murder.
Police say they were friends with Emilia and invited her to a pyjama party before luring her to an industrial estate near the local train station where they killed her.
Chief investigator, Kenth Pehrsson, said that Emilia's body showed signs of 'severe violence', but did not reveal her cause of death.
"She was found with such injuries and under such circumstances that we suspect that her life was taken and that she was deprived of her freedom before that," prosecutor Tomas Olvmyr added.
Emilia is believed to have been killed sometime between July 21 and July 22, according to documents from the local court, and her body was found shortly after midnight on Tuesday, July 23.
The first girl, 15, was arrested in connection to Emilia's kidnapping and murder on Wednesday, before the second 15-year-old teenager was taken into custody a day later.
One of the girls has reportedly confessed to being involved in the crime. "[She] also provided information about the background to why it has turned out the way it has," according to the prosecutor.
The motive for the brutal murder was a fight over an insult, according to information from Emilia's mother, Anna Sjoberg, claiming that her daughter was killed out of jealousy over a boy.
One of the suspects reportedly told police that there had been no plans to kill Emilia and that a fight got "out of hand."
